Electrical System Malfunctions

Complaints indicate issues ranging from malfunctioning horns (sticking on) tied to the airbag/steering wheel module, to broader electrical system faults. These can compromise safety and usability. Estimated repair cost: $200 - $1,500+.

Rear Window Shattering

A critical defect reported involves the rear window shattering after defroster activation, accompanied by smoke and a loud pop. This points to potential thermal or electrical faults within the defroster system or its integration with the rear hatch. Estimated repair cost: $800 - $2,000+.

A serious structural defect involves roof separation at highway speeds, attributed to improper adhesive application during production. This poses a catastrophic safety risk. Estimated repair cost: $1,000 - $3,000+.
